In these times when all the news feels like it has an edge to it - and that includes baseball, unfortunately - it's good to get a laugh. And that's where The Onion comes in.
It's lampooning of baseball has been spot-on recently - among their funniest (and cleanest) recent entries:
- 'Play Every Day To The Best Of Your Ability' Clause Stalled Ramirez, Dodgers Talks
- World Baseball Classic Team-By-Team Breakdown (China: "Too busy attempting to put their uniforms on Chinese Taipei players to be an actual threat")
- Scott Boras Able To Get Manny Ramirez $20 Billion In Economic Stimulus Money
- A-Rod Dead at 33 (Last line - "A-Rod is survived by 33-year-old Alexander Emmanuel Rodriguez, a divorced father of two who is currently in therapy and who, despite being in extremely good physical condition and possessing the ability to hit 500-foot home runs, has no future in baseball whatsoever.")
- Turns Out Craig Counsell Was Actually Best Baseball Player Of Steroid Era
- Rickey Henderson Says He'll Only Join Hall Of Fame If He Can Start
- Spark Of Humanity Fades From Mark Teixeira's Eyes After Signing With Yankees
- Cubs, Absence From World Series Agree To 4-Year Extension
